Created in 2009 by the anonymous programmer(s) Satoshi Nakamoto, the Bitcoin white paper proposed a new financial system based on blockchain technology. Bitcoin was built with the goal of creating a transparent, secure, and independent monetary system free from central control.
Bitcoin operates as a digital asset and payment network powered by a distributed ledger technology called blockchain. Users can send and receive bitcoins through digital wallets, with transactions verified by a global network of computers, and miners who are rewarded for solving increasingly complex puzzles by new Bitcoin. Unlike traditional currencies, Bitcoin has a fixed supply of 21 million coins, making it inherently deflationary. Its value is determined by market demand, trading activity, and broader cryptocurrency market trends. It is an extremely volatile asset and the best-known cryptocurrency.
